Rabs Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 lol :) http://www.firebox.com/product/5601/Musical-Wine-Glasses?via=top10&cat= From the same country that brought us Mozart (and strudel) come these Musical Wine Glasses; taking an age old trick and making it sing. Made by London design studio Nostalgics, each shapely glass is finished with a gold lustre and features musical notations, corresponding with levels of liquid, so while a nice full glass might be a B flat, when you start getting low on vino, you’ll be playing a G sharp. To make this sweet music, simply wet your finger, take a firm grip on the base of the glass and gently run your finger around the lip... or just gently tap with your fork to hear your musical note ring out. Perform impromptu concertos with your chardonnay or minuets on your merlot, and if you collect the full set you’ll be able to play a full 12 tone scale.

btoth76 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Wonder how the tone would change filling them with different wines: with Tokai would be mellow-sounding, while with the Soproni Kékfrankos it should be brighter. :) Great idea! Now I can tune up my soul for playing while tuning the guitar. Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickFromMunhall Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If you watch the David Gilmour 'Live at Gdnsk' DVD, wine glasses are used in the intro to one of the songs. (Sorry, but old timers disease has the better of me right now and I can't remember which song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a 57 claasic is more mellow And a 2012 has more bite to it :P :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
